Real program or written? Did you research size, typology...etc
What is the critical point of view? You sprinkled your program on the site -What is the logic of trapsing across
Landscape- what is driving your decisions? Where are the children coming from?
Think about the tone of existing orphanages
Think about transitions - the experience for the child- scale of the child
Wind catcher- beautiful - upside down light shaft
you see how it is played out- maybe more scales in terms of site
You need more complicated problem that wind catcher- think about ideas of identity - how to deal with that
Develop ground systems- all the boundaries you set up within project- how do they find themselves/ identify themselves
then negotiate all these forms of identity within the walls and borders of the campus - ex: classroom
Think about the interaction with adults- fundraising hall - want to see the children
Relationship of project from the outside- if there's a wall- they are protected but feel rejected closed in.
Alhambra- levels of courtyards - control privacy
technically - make strategic cuts with model making

For the next Monday class:
-by then- research Van Eyck's orphanage in more detail and look into the privacy-control techniques set up in alhambra.
-Finish the 1/8" pit- classroom model
-new site model- laser cut
-rethink the placement of program on site with more sensitivity to interconnecting
- have new plans and sections
great notes....
the first mechnical task is to draw a site plan with topographical lines at one or two feet in hight. You don't have to have an actual one. Using your section and site model draw one as close as possible. First the site (which is pretty flat but it has a pit and a bit of elevation change however little. Then you draw the topographical lines where you want the build a small hill or sand dunne. Once you have that then you consider yet again your landscape strategy including water, playing fields and vegetation (trees etc).
email me the topographical siteplan when you have it.
